December 13, 2013 Ryan McLane

A “satisfaction” clause is a fairly common provision in a variety of contract types. You have likely seen such a clause before or perhaps been a party to a contract involving one. Satisfaction clauses can cover a wide range of subjects, but they often appear as contingencies in contracts for the sale of real property.

Buyers Beware: Kentucky Courts will not Protect You from “Unwise Decisions”

October 23, 2013 Ryan McLane

In recent years the nation has engaged in public debate over the degree to which the government should “protect us from ourselves.” One example that garnered media attention was New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s attempt to ban big sodas from NYC restaurants (it was struck down by a New York appellate court). The goal of the measure was to combat a growing obesity problem in the city.

Bad Fences Make Bad Neighbors: Homeowners and Easement Rights

September 6, 2013 Ryan McLane

Everyone has heard some form of the proverb “good fences make good neighbors.” A recent Kentucky Court of Appeals opinion dealing with a dispute between neighbors over a shared driveway called to mind the “good fences” proverb.

Employers Targeted: Liability for the Acts of Employees

July 22, 2013 Ryan McLane

Employers have always been a favorite target for lawsuits when their employees cause personal injuries. The reason for this is simple: they have the money. An example from a recent Kentucky Court of Appeals case illustrates a common fact pattern.

The DBL Construction Group has reported on the pioneering Ohio Construction Reform Act (OCR) since its enactment in 2011 and throughout its implementation during 2012.

April 10, 2013 Ryan McLane

Don’t Procrastinate: Know Your Statutes of Limitations

February 21, 2013 Ryan McLane

Most people are generally aware of the idea behind statutes of limitation. They operate to set a time limit for filing a lawsuit in a civil case.

Nevertheless, if you find yourself in such a predicament, understanding some basics about statutes of limitations can help.

Defending the Frivolous Lawsuit: Can You Recover Your Legal Fees?

September 27, 2012 Ryan McLane

As a member of DBL’s Civil Litigation Practice Group, I frequently defend small and medium-sized businesses against all sorts of lawsuits. While being sued is not a regular occurrence for most such companies, it remains a cost of doing business that many must suffer at some point. A recent case I read reminded me of a frequent question these clients ask at the outset: “can I recover my legal fees if I win.” Unfortunately, my response to this question often begins with “probably not.”
